Olympic games in Rome
To make America the greatest is my goal
so I beat the Russian, and I beat the Pole
and for the USA won the Medal of Gold
Italians said, 'You're greater than the Cassius of Old'
We like your name, we like your game
so make Rome your home if you will
I said I appreciate your kind hospitality
but the USA is my country still
cause they're waiting to welcome me in Louisville
Sonny Liston
Clay comes out to meet Liston
And Liston starts to retreat
If Liston goes back any further
He'll end up in a ringside seat
Clay swings with a left
Clay swings with a right
Look at young Cassius
Carry the fight
Liston keeps backing
But there's not enough room
It's a matter of time
There's, Clay lowers the boom
Now Clay swings with a right
What a beautiful swing
And the punch raises the bear
Clear out of the ring
Liston is still rising
And the ref wears a frown
For he can't start counting
Till Sonny comes down
Now Liston disappears from view
The crowd is getting frantic
But our radar stations picked him up
He's somewhere over the Atlantic
Who would have thought
When they came to the fight
They'd witness the launching
Of a human satellite
Yes, the crowd did not dream
When they laid down their money
That they would see
A total eclipse of the Sonny
I am the greatest!
Joe Frazier
Joe gonna come out smokin'
And I ain't gonna be jokin'
I'll be pecking and pokin'
Pouring water on his smokin'
This might shock and amaze ya
But I'll retire Joe Fray-shuh
George Foreman
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
His hands can't hit what his eyes can't see
Now you see me, now you don't
George thinks he will, but I know he won't
